I'm so excited to be hosting my first Mixed Bag Monday Challenge!
One of my favorite parts of doing a layout is the titlework. I always leave it until last when I am doing a layout so I can pick the perfect place to put it. I also like to add interest to the title by mixing up the alphas, breaking it up over the page, using wordstrips for fillers in the title and also trying to find other things to use for letters rather than just alphas.....and that is your challenge for today....
Get Creative with your Letters!
Here are some examples that I found browsing the internet to give you and idea of what I mean:

Some of my favorites are using the sideways "2" in TWINS and the swirls for the "f"'s in coffee.
Feel free to use one of the above examples for inspiration, or try to think of something ultra-creative on your own. Also try to think of something that relates well to your word.
Here is what I came up with:
